"I want to drink a glass of wine. How about you?”In order to cover up the awkwardness between the two of them, Pepper offered to drink something.
"Coincidentally, so am I. What do you want to drink? I'll get it for you.”Tony came back to his senses. Although he was upset about his foolish behavior just now, in order to maintain his demeanor in front of his beloved, Tony responded calmly.
"I want a vodka martini with more dried olives, at least three.”
"Alright!"
"
Two vodka martinis with dried olives. Please hurry." Oh right, one of the heavy olives." Tony put the tip in front of the bartender and let out a deep sigh of relief. He was too nervous just now. Tony never thought that Pepper would lean over and kiss him at that moment. He really didn't know if it was a test. If it was, then he must have failed just now.
Just as Tony was letting his imagination run wild, a female reporter dressed very sexily came to the bar counter after seeing Tony's back."Wow, Tony Stark! It's good to see you here."
"Oh, hello, you're Carly..." After Tony saw her face, he had a vague impression of her, but he could not remember her name.
"Christine." After Tony pretended to know her name, the female reporter Christine directly revealed her name. She also knew that a playboy like Tony Stark would never remember her name, even if she had a one-night stand with him.
Tony: "That's right, I was just about to call him that.”
"You seem very nervous to be here tonight. Can you at least let me see a reaction from you?”As a reporter, Christine's observation skills were amazing. She immediately noticed Tony's unnatural expression.
"As you can see, nervous. I think nervous is my reaction.”Tony did not want to tell a reporter about his failed kiss, because if he did, it would definitely appear on the front page of the entertainment section the next day and let the whole world know.
"But I've been hearing that Stark Industries was involved in the recent atrocity. Is this the responsibility you're talking about?”Even if Tony didn't want to reveal his thoughts, as a reporter, Christine wouldn't let go of digging out what she wanted from Tony.
"Atrocities? I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about. I haven't dealt with company matters in a long time. I've been staying at home to do private research.”Tony was confused by the other party's words. He did not understand what this so-called "atrocity" referred to.
Christine handed a stack of photos to Tony."This is a small town called Gumira. Have you heard of it?”
Of course, Tony had heard of it. He remembered that Gumira was the hometown of his savior, Dr. Ethan. Ever since the two of them had successfully saved themselves, they had parted ways and never met again.
At that time, Ethan said that his family had already died in the hands of terrorists. He wanted to return to his hometown to protect more people and not let them experience the pain he had suffered. Before leaving, Tony gave Dr. Ethan the magical suit that Mark had specially made for him as a gift, hoping to help him and protect his life.
But when Tony flipped through the photos that Christine handed over, he saw the houses that had been bombarded by artillery fire, the tragic scene of corpses everywhere, and the close-up of the words "Stark Industries" on the weapons used by the terrorists. Tony was no longer angry, but rather calm.
"When were these photos taken?”Tony stared at the photo in his hand and asked Christine coldly.
"Yesterday."
"I didn't approve any shipment.”Tony looked into her eyes and explained.
"But your company approved it!"”
"My company doesn't stand for me!”After saying this, Tony stopped pestering the female reporter, Christine, and even forgot to bring Pepper the wine he promised.
He brought these photos directly to Obadiah, who was still being interviewed on the red carpet in front of the disney concert hall. He asked him,"Have you seen these photos? What's going on?
Obadiah first calmly pulled Tony away from the reporters, then said earnestly,""Tony, Tony, calm down. Don't be so naive.”
"Taizhen? I used to be very naive. When you said,"This is our bottom line, we can't cross it. This is how we do business." I actually believed it. I was very naive at that time.
You didn't tell me the rest of the sentence, did you? [Unless we make a two-sided deal in secret]…Is that so?”
Obadiah did not show any nervousness about being exposed in the face of Tony's pressing questions. He leaned close to Tony's ear and whispered,""Tony, who do you think signed the restraining order against you? I was the one who signed the ban. That was the only way I could protect you. Can you understand my painstaking efforts?”
Obadiah patted Tony's shoulder and smiled meaningfully. Then he got into the car and left the venue, leaving Tony stunned.
"Hey! Father, what are you doing here?”Suddenly, Mark's familiar voice came from behind, waking Tony up from his daze.
Mark and Tony still didn't say a word after they came back to their senses. He slapped him heavily on the back.
"Hiss ~ It hurts! What are you doing, you little brat?!"”
"Why are you pretending to be melancholic? You're not the melancholic prince, Robert Bagjo. Just now, Sister Pepper ran over to ask me where you were. I helped you smooth things over and said that you went to the toilet.
I didn't expect you to take the opportunity to leave Pepper alone on the balcony and still have time to daydream here. If it's misunderstood that you're overly loving and seducing other women, I won't help you explain.”
"Oh no! I forgot about the vodka martini I promised Pepper. Come on, let's give Pepper the wine. We're going home.”Tony took Mark's hand and walked into the concert hall.
"So fast. You haven't had the time to make a scene yet?”Looking at the complicated expression on Tony's face, Mark could not remember what had caused him to suddenly change.
"We do have to make a scene, but not here. We have to change places. My company has made a mistake, so I'm the one who has to redeem it.”
